Nothing Compares 2 U
Prince and the New Power Generation Lyrics

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
It's been 7 hours and 15 days since you left me, and it feels like an eternity.

Since you took your love away
Ever since you left me, I haven't been the same.

I go out every night and sleep all day
I try to distract myself by going out every night, but it's all in vain as my nights are sleepless, and I sleep all day.

Since you took your love away
Everything in my life is a mess since you've been gone.

Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I'm free to do what I want now that you're gone, but it's meaningless without you.

I can see whomever I choose
I'm not bound by any limitations, I'm free to see anyone I want.

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
I can have any luxurious experience, even dining at an expensive restaurant.

But nothing
But nothing is enough.

I said nothing can take away these blues
There is no cure for the sadness that I feel inside.

'Cause nothing compares
Nothing can compare to the love that we shared.

Nothing compares to you
You're irreplaceable, and nothing compares to you.

It's been so lonely without you here
My life has been devoid of any joy or happiness without you here.

Like a bird without a song
I feel incomplete and purposeless, like a bird without its song.

Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Despite my efforts to stay strong, I can't stop myself from crying over you.

Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I'm struggling to understand what went wrong, and why you left.

I could put my arms around every boy I see
I could find comfort in other people, but it's pointless because they're not you.

But they'd only remind me of you
Instead of finding solace in others, being around them only makes me miss you more.

I went to the doctor guess what he told me
I even went to the doctor hoping to find a cure for my broken heart.

Guess what he told me
He told me to try and find happiness, but it's easier said than done.

He said girl you better try to have fun no matter what you do
He advised me to find joy and fun in my life no matter what, but it's easier said than done.

but he's a fool
But his advice is foolish because nothing can replace the love that we shared.

'Cause nothing compares 2 you
Because nothing is a substitute for the love that we shared.

All the flowers that you planted mama
All the plants that you carefully nurtured in the backyard are now dead.

In the back yard
In the backyard of our home.

All died when you went away
They withered away when you left.

I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
I acknowledge that being together wasn't always easy.

But I'm willing to give it another try
Despite everything, I'm willing to go back and try it all over again.

'Cause nothing compares
Because nothing can measure up to the love that we shared.

Nothing compares to you
You are unmatched, and nothing can compare to you.
